3.19 Adding processes
Procedure
You will notice that there are two red dots indicating two inputs to the paperclip bending
process. We know that one of these is power and one steel wire. The steel wire process is
already included on the plan so you need to add the power process.
52. Select „Processes‟ in the object hierarchy and click on the „Search‟ button
53. Enter „Power.‟
A list of potential matches is displayed and you can select the appropriate Power grid mix
for your country.
54. Choose „DE‟ for Germany.
55. To add this process to your plan simply drag and drop it onto the plan.
Steel Billet also needs to be added to the system to feed material into the steel wire
production process.
56. Add „Steel billet‟ now too.
57. Close the search window and arrange your processes as shown.
3.20 Adding transportation processes
To improve the level of detail of our system it would be great to add a transport process
between the steel wire manufacturing process and the paperclip bending process. A 20
tonne truck will be appropriate for this model.
58. Locate a „Truck 20-26 t total cap./17,3 t payload/EURO 3 (local)‟ in the
hierarchy and use the drag and drop feature to add the truck process to the plan.
